Default Voltage optimisers

To be honest, I was sceptical as well. Just what is the point. I mean if you
have a very touchy device, then some kind of transformer will sort it, and
actually most touchy devices seem to work quite adequately on the end of a
surge protector and mains filter socket bar from Maplin, with or without the
pretty window. :-)

Just fitted my first ever voltage optimiser.

Not much to it but I am puzzled.

I tapped of the 10% drop terminals. The incoming supply to the
optimiser is 251V and the outgoing load is 236V.

So where does the 10% come into this?



Which make and model?

Twin 6ft T8, is that not supposed to be 140W?
Hairdrier, takes longer to dry your hair?
Vacuum cleaner, more runs to get the cat hairs up:-)
Microwave? Well that like a quicky in the pub toilets, all done in 3
minutes and everything is hot and steamy.
Infra red patio heater, put a jumper on
Fridge, no one is sure about that but mine works OK on 253V
Dishwasher, surely most of the energy is in heating the water so FA saving
